SAINT JAMES and the Workwear Heritage

For over 130 years, SAINT JAMES has been designing clothing made to withstand the elements. Originally, the brand outfitted fishermen with sturdy wool sweaters and peacoats built to endure the extreme conditions of the open sea. Functionality, durability, and comfort were the guiding principles.

Workwear : A Philosophy Above All

Before becoming a trend, workwear was first and foremost utilitarian clothing. At SAINT JAMES, this commitment to quality and practicality has always shaped the design of its garments. While the brand did not originally produce workwear jackets, its expertise in crafting durable, functional clothing naturally extends to these iconic pieces of the professional wardrobe.

A Contemporary Reinterpretation

Today, SAINT JAMES reimagines this heritage by offering workwear jackets that carry on this spirit : cuts inspired by traditional workwear, robust materials, and meticulous attention to detail, echoing the high standards of sailors of the past. Designed for everyday wear, these jackets strike a perfect balance between tradition and modernity.

 

Wearing a SAINT JAMES workwear jacket means embracing this legacy—a garment designed to last, functional and timeless, staying true to the brand’s values since its inception. A nod to the past, rooted in the present.
